O.K. I'll give you that one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm kind of crabby too, with this overcast all day. Just plain gloomy. What's it like over there? I didn't use my ROPS today, but umbrella, while voluntary, was used and appreciated today. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

This may be an extension of a thread on TBN about Simplicity's. They are in the Sub cut area but ROPS are optional. I think the JD also has a lawn tractor that can have a loader but no neccassarily a ROPS. The question was why do they not have a ROPS with a loader but BX/2210's/TZ do.
